This unit
The ILX Lightwave OMH-6735 is an InGaAs wavehead designed for simultaneous optical power and wavelength measurement in the near-infrared spectrum. Engineered for use with ILX Lightwave optical power meters, this detector delivers high sensitivity and low noise performance across critical test applications. The integrating sphere measurement principle eliminates common sources of error - detector saturation, alignment sensitivity, beam profile dependence, polarization effects, and back reflection - enabling accurate, repeatable results from -40 to +30 dBm (100 nW to 1 W) power levels.

ILX Lightwave OMH-6735 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the ILX Lightwave OMH-6735. Calibration covers detector responsivity across all specified wavelengths (typically 800-1700 nm range), absolute power accuracy, and EEPROM calibration coefficient update. Compatible with Agilent/HP 8163A/B, 8164A/B, and 8166A/B mainframes.. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common ILX Lightwave OMH-6735 faults: FC/PC connector damage, EEPROM failure (mainframe shows unrecognized sensor), reduced responsivity. Common faults include FC/PC input connector damage, EEPROM failure causing the module to appear unrecognized by the mainframe, and reduced detector responsivity from contamination.
